Particle conformation regulates antibody access to a conserved GII.4 norovirus blockade epitope.
UNLABELLED GII.4 noroviruses (NoVs) are the primary cause of epidemic viral acute gastroenteritis. One primary obstacle to successful NoV vaccination is the extensive degree of antigenic diversity among strains. The major capsid protein of GII.4 strains is evolving rapidly, resulting in the emergence of new strains with altered blockade epitopes. In addition to characterizing these evolving blo...
متن کاملConformational Occlusion of Blockade Antibody Epitopes, a Novel Mechanism of GII.4 Human Norovirus Immune Evasion
Extensive antigenic diversity within the GII.4 genotype of human norovirus is a major driver of pandemic emergence and a significant obstacle to development of cross-protective immunity after natural infection and vaccination. However, human and mouse monoclonal antibody studies indicate that, although rare, antibodies to conserved GII.4 blockade epitopes are generated. The mechanisms by which ...
متن کاملCharacterization of blockade antibody responses in GII.2.1976 Snow Mountain virus-infected subjects.
Snow Mountain virus (GII.2.1976) is the prototype strain of GII.2 noroviruses (NoVs), which cause an estimated 8% of norovirus outbreaks, yet little is known about the immunobiology of these viruses. To define the human immune response induced by SMV infection and the antigenic relationship between different GII.2 strains that have circulated between 1976 and 2010, we developed a panel of four ...
متن کاملEmergence of a norovirus GII.4 strain correlates with changes in evolving blockade epitopes.
The major capsid protein of norovirus GII.4 strains is evolving rapidly, resulting in epidemic strains with altered antigenicity. GII.4.2006 Minerva strains circulated at pandemic levels in 2006 and persisted at lower levels until 2009. In 2009, a new GII.4 variant, GII.4.2009 New Orleans, emerged and since then has become the predominant strain circulating in human populations. To determine wh...
متن کاملCharacterization of a broadly reactive monoclonal antibody against norovirus genogroups I and II: recognition of a novel conformational epitope.
Norovirus, which belongs to the family Caliciviridae, is one of the major causes of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis in the world. The main human noroviruses are of genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII), which were subdivided further into at least 15 and 18 genotypes (GI/1 to GI/15 and GII/1 to GII/18), respectively. The development of immunological diagnosis for norovirus had been hindered...
